General advice
• In addition to covering the content outline in the advance information, students and
teachers should consider how to:
• manage their revision of parts of the specification which may be assessed in areas
not covered by the advance information
• manage their revision of other parts of the specification which may provide
knowledge which helps with understanding the areas being tested in 2022.
• For specifications with synoptic assessments, topics not explicitly given in the
advance information may appear, e.g. where students are asked to bring together
knowledge, skills and understanding from across the specification.
• For specifications with optional papers/topics/content, students should only refer to
the advance information for their intended option.
• For specifications with NEA, advance information does not cover any NEA
components.
